Curious Kinders STEAMing Into the Future

Help me give my students in Kindergarten the tools they need to learn best by donating these science viewers, number blocks, storage bins, and other items to touch build, create, investigate, and discover through hands-on experiences.

Mrs. Mims Sycamore Creek Elementary School
Raleigh, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Kindergarteners are the best! They are eager, curious learners who thrive when given opportunities to explore through hands-on experiences. They come to school excited to ask questions, build, create, investigate and discover.

The STEAM materials and organizational resources requested will provide them with opportunities to engage in meaningful learning through science experiments, engineering challenges, technology exploration, artistic expression, and mathematical problem-solving.

Materials include building sets, manipulatives, STEM bins, art supplies, and storage organizers will encourage students to think critically, collaborate, and develop creativity while making learning fun, and memorable.
